This is an evergreen talent-pipeline posting open across all six Samet offices — not a specific, currently open position.

Great careers rarely start with perfect timing. That’s why we like to meet strong Field Engineers after a seat opens up. Applying here puts you on our radar across all six Samet offices—so when the right opportunity fits, whether that’s now or a few months down the road, we already know you and you already know us.

• Develop and submit RFIs and assist with submittal reviews to confirm compliance with project specifications.
• Read and interpret plans, specifications, and shop drawings to keep work properly coordinated and installed.
• Manage and resolve punch lists, and meet with AHJs and third-party inspectors to facilitate inspections and approvals.
• Engage subcontractors and suppliers daily through huddles and coordination meetings to keep the schedule on track.
• Review and apply Samet TSWs, owner contracts, and trade partner scopes of work to your field responsibilities.
• Use Bluebeam and other construction software fluently for documentation and workflows.
• Support the team’s safety/ERM initiatives and uphold Samet’s professional image with clients, designers, and trade partners.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field (or equivalent field experience).

• Proficiency in Bluebeam and a willingness to master Procore, P6, and other construction software.
• Working knowledge of plans, specifications, and construction documentation processes.
• Experience with RFIs, submittals, and punch lists (preferred; expected at the Field Engineer II level).
• Understanding of project schedules and the ability to help maintain progress.
• Strong organizational, time-management, and communication skills, with sharp attention to detail.
• A demonstrated commitment to safety and an injury-free job site.
• Initiative, a problem-solving mindset, and a genuine passion for a career in construction management.
